Are we all the heroes of our own stories? (with Cate Hall)
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
The Role of Anchor Beliefs in Storytelling
There's this idea I've been working on that I call anchor beliefs. An anchor belief the way I define it is something that you are totally unwilling to stop believing or that you sort of implicitly know the cost of not believing it is too high to be willing to stop. And therefore, when you have one of these beliefs, you must warp all evidence and data and information you get to keep that belief being true. So you can't give up that belief by definition, so you get evidence that's wrong, you have to find some other way to interpret that evidence. This can create a lot of strange ripples in people's belief systems.
